I paid it off!

Anonymous — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 13:49:27 GMT

I just paid off my Capital One rewards card (limit: $1500). In a week and a half, my Walmart card will be paid off. By the end of May, I will have my Chase Freedom paid off, Capital One Platinum paid by the end of July, and Citi and Discover paid by the end of September (they are still safely under the "no interest" period, so they get paid last). My husband's cards will all be paid off in a month!

Due to a job loss, and dental and medical emergencies, we had to use our credit cards more than I wanted. But it feels good knowing I have a plan in place to get out from under this debt. I took on a second job specifically to pay down my debt quickly. It may not have been a huge amount compared to some, but it was enough to make me lose sleep at night (and drop my score by 40 pts!).

Ahhh, I can breathe a bit easier.

Congrats! I am on the same path but it will be a bit longer before I get paid everything paid off. Moving expenses(mainly appliances and furniture!) were a lot more than anticipated.
